First-time explanations by Harun Yahya

Look what God says; He says that paradise and hell are not far away. God says they have been brought closer. He always refers to veils. He says the veil has been lifted. God describes the dimensions very clearly, in a very comprehensible way. God wants us to love Him with our free minds, with our minds that appear to be free. Almighty God says He will manifest Himself in paradise and make us live forever. Indeed, a person who loves will wish not to be separated from the beloved for all time. GOD WANTS NOT TO BE PARTED FROM THOSE HE LOVES FOR ALL ETERNITY. FOR INSTANCE GOD WILL WISH NOT TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE MAHDI, JESUS THE MESSIAH OR BELIEVERS FOR ALL ETERNITY. "THEY LOVE ME, AND I LOVE THEM," GOD SAYS.

Those in the Fire will say to the custodians of Hell, ‘Call on your Lord to make the punishment less for us for just one day.’

“Those in the Fire will say to the custodians of hell, ‘Call on your Lord…” Look, your Lord. They do not say ‘our Lord.’ “Call on your Lord to make the punishment less for us for just one day.” They say, let us rest for one day. Let there be one day without suffering. Let us have a break one day a week. Make the punishment less for us for just one day.’

Surat al-Mu’min, Verse 50

They will ask, ‘Did your Messengers not bring you the Clear Signs?’ They will answer, ‘Yes.’ They will say, ‘Then you call!’ But the calling of the unbelievers only goes astra

That is the normal thing. They should pray themselves.

They will ask, ‘Did your Messengers not bring you the Clear Signs?’ They will answer, ‘Yes.’ Look, Almighty God will ask them about the Mahdi (pbuh). ‘Did he not tell you about the invalidity of Darwinism and materialism?’ ‘Yes, he did.’ “You heard it everywhere. You read about it and examined it. You also saw the proofs of the existence of God. So why did you not believe?’ ‘Out of pride and obstinacy.’ ‘And how long did that pride persist?’ ‘For many years.’ That is a crime. They will say, ‘then you call!’ But they ask the custodians to pray for them. But God says that the prayers of unbelievers only go astray. They continue to be unbelievers even there. Their free will has vanished, they are still unbelievers. They imagine that they are only there, in hell, on a temporary basis. One million years go by, and they still do not understand. They still imagine they will be coming out. But they do not pray to God. Look, ‘Call on your Lord.’ Look at the obstinacy of that! They are specially created entities.

Surat al-Mu'min, Verse 51

We will certainly help Our Messengers and those who have faith both in the life of this world and on the Day the witnesses appear,

God says He will help in this world and in the Hereafter. Believers wonder in the Hereafter, ‘What will we do in that environment?’ But God says there is a witness, a helper, alongside them. They have a special guide. There is light before them and to the right. They are always given security, and the word ‘Greetings’ is used. But they are still anxious. ‘I wonder what will happen,’ they say. God says they have a strong hope, but they are not certain. But they relax when they enter Paradise. Look, human nature continues to exert its effects there.

Surat al-Mu'min, Verse 52

The Day when the excuses of the wrongdoers will not help them. The curse will be on them and they will have the most evil home.

One among them might ask ‘what‘s wrong’ with being irreligious. But he is not just irreligious, he is also wicked. But on the day, their excuses will do them no good. God says their excuses will not help them. Human beings have plenty of excuses, as you know. “The curse will be on them and they will have the most evil home.” God also speaks of a home. So there will also be homes and districts in hell. But these are “the most evil,” says God.

Surat al-Mu’min, Verse 55

So remain steadfast. God’s promise is true. Ask forgiveness for your wrong action and glorify your Lord with praise in the evening and the early morning.

“So remain steadfast,” says Almighty God. His promise is certainly true. We must all trust in His promise. If God says, “I will make Islamic unity,” then that is the truth, and we can expect. The subject of the Mahdi is also true. “Ask forgiveness for your wrong action.” There is beauty and goodness in that. May God forgive all Muslims’ sins, and everyone’s sins. “Glorify your Lord with praise in the evening and the early morning.” Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. We always give thanks to God. This is a good thing, it bestows health, and goodness and beauty and prosperity. There is nothing complicated in it; God is saying, “Give thanks to Me and live as friends.” But this is destiny; there have to be wars. Because without wars, people cannot enjoy the taste of peace.

Surat al-Mu’min, Verse 57

The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater than the creation of mankind. But most of mankind do not know it.

Almighty God says that it is easy for Him to create human beings. For example, they look in the mirror. You know, those multi-faceted mirrors. Hundreds of people suddenly appear. If God wished he could immediately give them all a soul and make them real, all from the same person.

Surat al-Mu’min, Verse 60

Your Lord says, ‘Call on Me and I will answer you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell abject.’

Your Lord says, ‘Call on Me and I will answer you.’ God always heeds prayers, in other words. Prayer is a vital thing, but people do not fully understand it, they think it is a waste of time. Yet every prayer is regarded as an act of worship in the Presence of God. Prayer is like the salat. That is regarded as an act of worship by God. For example, someone says, “Grant me wisdom, O Lord,” and God grants him wisdom. “O Lord, deepen my faith,” he says. And He deepens it. These are the most vital matters. For example, he says, “Give me a house.” But what good is a house if he does not strengthen his faith? You would be as uneasy in that house as in the grave. You would be terribly uneasy. “O Lord, give me a wife,” he says. You get married, and that woman will make you miserable. She is literally a nightmare. She does not love you and you do not love her. But if you pray, God will bestow radiance on your wife and on you.

For example, he prays and his country is saved. A whole country is saved through the prayer of one honest person, of an honest, pure person. A whole country is saved when a single Muslim prays for it. People are unaware. It is saved through him. They imagine it happened by chance. But they are saved because of him.

Surat al-Mu’min, Verse 61

God is He Who appointed the night for you so that you might rest in it, and the day for seeing. God pours out His favor on mankind but most people do not show thanks.

“God is He Who appointed the night for you so that you might rest in it.” Night is really the most peaceful time for sleeping. It is harder to sleep during the daytime. Night is like a cradle. “and the day for seeing.” They are specially created. God closes the day like drawing a curtain, everywhere becomes dark. Then God turns a light on, and everywhere becomes bright.

Surat al-Mu'min, Verse 65

He is the Living – there is no god but Him –so call on Him, making your deen sincerely His. Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.

He is the Hayy, the Living– there is no god but Him –so call on Him, making your deen sincerely His. In other words, He needs no intermediaries. Not through a sheikh or anything else; “Call on Him,” says God. Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds. Alhamdulillah. Look, God always wants thanks. “What if I give thanks?” one might come up and say. Plenty will then come, without your even being aware of it. And your afflictions will disappear. Money and property will come, and clarity of mind. Your heart will be eased. You will have no depression. Your family will not be troubled. Look, God says He does not just protect the believer, but also those the believer loves. “What is the point of thanks?” they ask. There is no end to it. First of all, God’s approval. God protects that person and those whom he loves. Whatever he loves is also protected. Masha’Allah.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 29

They called on their companion and he set to it and hamstrung her [camel].

He hamstrings the camel with a sword. Look, Almighty God greatly dislikes cruelty to animals. The reason for the affliction that comes here is the maltreatment of that animal; cruelty to an animal, not to a human being. God destroys the place because of the cruelty to the animal. Cruelty to animals is like cruelty to human beings. God imposes the same punishment in the case of cruelty to animals. Hamstringing; the animal is covered in blood and writhing in pain. Yet the camel is a delightful animal. He is a wicked person, there is a lawful way. Is there any reason for your cruelty to the animal? The animal is writhing and covered in blood. It cannot walk. The animal cannot speak. It cannot tell of its troubles.

Surat al-Qamar, Verses 30-31

How terrible were My punishment and warnings!

We sent a single Blast against them and they were just like a thatcher’s reeds.

God sends a terrible disaster. He is speaking of something like an atom bomb here. There may be an explosion caused by the use of a simpler technique, combining one substance with another. There is something. People of that time had that knowledge. Almighty God makes them His instrument.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 32

We have made the Qur’an easy to remember. But is there any rememberer there?

One must ask this to the fundamentalists. God says He has made it easy to remember. It has been translated into Turkish. But one of them came up and wrote saying; “We could never understand it in 40 years.” God says that unbelievers cannot understand the Qur’an. This one says, “We could never understand it in 40 years.” Look, this is just what God is saying.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 34-35

We unleashed a sudden squall of stones against all of them, except the family of Lut, who We rescued before dawn. It was a blessing direct from Our presence. That is how We recompense those who give thanks.

It is amazing. God deliberately sets good people aside in such matters. If there is someone who preaches and talks about Islam, He sets him to one side. Nothing generally happens to such people in mass destructions, by God’s leave.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 38

Early morning brought them enduring punishment:

Morning is when they are most troubled. God generally strikes in the morning, when people are most relaxed.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 42

They dismissed every one of Our Signs and so We seized them with the seizing of One Who is Almighty, All-Powerful.

The wicked have always been defeated. The wicked are on the offensive again today. But they are condemned to defeat. The wicked are unaware of this law. Otherwise they would never start. They would not continue being wicked. But their cruelty lasts very little. Some 40 years or so. Then they are buried.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 43

Are your unbelievers better than those peoples’? Or have you been given exemption in the Books?

People say, “Why do you compare someone to Pharaoh?” But God says “Are they better?” In other words, no unbeliever is better than any other. They are all unbelievers. They are the same if they are unbelievers, insincere cruel and ruthless. “Or have you been given exemption in the Books?” says God. God would have to make such a ruling.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 44

Or do they say, ‘We are an assembly who will win’?

Look, it is always revenge and killing and wickedness. God does not want that.

Surat al-Qamar, Verse 45

The assembly will be routed and will turn their backs in flight.

It lasts very little. You will see that they will absolutely be defeated in Syria. They will absolutely be defeated in Egypt. But look, only the extremists will be defeated. The true ones, those who follow the Qur’an, will be victorious. Extremists are always defeated in power. An administration can only remain in power on the path of the system of the Mahdi. That is how God creates it. If an administration sticks to the path of the way of the Mahdi, then it cannot be overthrown. It will persist until near the Last Day. Then it will collapse. But it cannot collapse while on the path of the system of the Mahdi.

But since we are close to the Last Day, some administrations will fall very quickly, some governments will fall very quickly. As God wants the system of the Mahdi to prevail right away, because time is short. There are communities, secret communities used by God. They have received their instructions. The reign of Islam, in a system like that of the Mahdi, in systems like the Illuminati, Freemasonry and the Templars. Systems based on polytheism will collapse. These secret communities are helping systems based on polytheism to collapse now. Let me say that quite openly. But they support a system on the path of the Mahdi with all their might so it can prevail. We will see these things in time, insha'Allah.

Mr. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ON VARIOUS VERSES

Surat Al-Hijr, Verse 72

By your life! They were wandering blindly in their drunkenness.

That is the ruling of God on aggressive, radical, mindless people. "...wandering blindly in their drunkenness." They do not see and their minds are in a drunken state.

Surat Ash-Shura Verse 27

Were God to expand the provision of His servants, they would act as tyrants on the Earth. But He sends down whatever He wills in a measured way. He is aware of and He sees His servants.

“Were God to expand the provision of His servants, they would act as tyrants on the Earth.” That is the reason why God has constantly created economic crisis throughout history. Economic crises always exist and they either decrease or increase. People always complain about not being able to make ends meet. God says that He does that specifically, that is a miracle. There should be richness everywhere yet that does not happen. There will be richness one last time in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and not any more.

Mr. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ABOUT VERSES FROM

SURAT AT-TAWBA

Surat at-Tawba, verse 28

You who have faith! The idolaters are unclean, so after this year they should not come near the Masjid al-Haram. If you fear impoverishment, God will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

"You who have faith! The idolaters are unclean, so after this year they should not come near the Masjid al-Haram." Why? Because they do dirty things there. What is meant by dirty things? They commit murders, they kill people, they abduct Muslim women, they kidnap children, they practice violence. Because they do dirty things God reveals what they have been doing. Or else God says "...they are entrusted to you," in another verse about the idolaters. He tells us to "...take them to a secure place." Look, by putting your life on the line, by putting yourself in danger. One's life is precious, is it not? And God says; "...by putting your own lives in danger take them to a secure place." God says; "Secure their lives and leave them only after you are sure about the security of their lives." And about those who do dirty things, Almighty God says "...they are doing dirty things." If one hangs others, chops up others, injures others, that means he is doing dirty things. If he is not, it would make him only an idolater. God says that only for those who do dirty things. That is because they spread terror in Masjid al-Haram. They have killed Muslims in the lands of the Kaaba. They have martyred Muslims while they are performing their prayers. They have inflicted pain, they have reviled women. God says this because what they have been doing is bad. Otherwise in Islam it is not acceptable to do or say anything against an idolater who doesn't do anything bad, you just have to secure their lives.

Mr. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ON HADITHS RELATED WITH HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH)

"Hazrat Mahdi points to a bird and the bird falls into his hand." How? For instance he says; "This bird is very beautiful, let us have one of those." What does falling into one's hand mean? It means keeping it in one's hand; it means keeping it in one's house, it means taking it into one's possession. For instance, you place the bird in a cage and it thus would be falling into your hand. For instance you say, "He fell into his hand" about a person and it means that he is under that person's control from then on, or else it doesn't come to mean it fell to his hand from the sky. It means that he will love birds in cages and out in the open, that he will take care of them and show his love for them; that is the meaning of the hadith.

"He plants a dry branch in to the soil and the leaves of the branch turns green." It means he will plant trees, Mahdi (pbuh) will love trees. It is understood that he will make everywhere green, he will take great pleasure from greenery, from trees, from fruits; it is understood that he will take pleasure from everything God created.

MR. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ON VERSES FROM SURAT AZ-ZUMAR

Surat Az Zumar, verse 61

God will give security those who had fear of God in their victorious safe haven. No evil will touch them and they will know no sorrow.

That is a miraculous verse. "...those who had fear of God" meaning those who are very sincere, those who genuinely believe in and completely abide by the Qur'an. "God will give security to those in their victorious safe haven." God says that He will surely give them victory in this world, and the result of that victory is salvation. And see that there is another very important miracle; "No evil will touch them," says God. They will be saved from all evil. God protects them specifically from evils. "And they will know no sorrow." That is a characteristic of Muslims, Muslims know no sorrow. Sorrow does not touch them.

Surat Az-Zumar, verse 62

God is the Creator of everything and He is Guardian over everything.

"God is the Creator of everything." Creator of what? Creator of the good and the bad; the Creator of everything. "He is the Guardian over everything." For instance, some people step up and say; "America is a rogue state" That is not the case, my brother. Look at what God says? "He is the Guardian over everything." He is the Creator of everything. He is the Creator of all the incidents in Syria as well; God is the Creator of everything.

Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 63

The keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him. It is those who reject God's Signs who are the losers.

"The keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him." All the secrets that are kept secret; all the secrets that are not opened, all the secrets that are kept secret in the Earth, everything and everywhere. "All the keys belong to Me," says God. "It is those who reject God's Signs who are the losers." They will definitely be losers. For instance, the PKK; they will certainly be defeated. That is because they have no other way according to the command of the verse. So the unbelievers are definitely defeated. Pay attention to the world, unbelievers have never become victorious and remained as that. Unbelievers certainly end up being defeated.

Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 64

Say: 'Do you order me to worship something other than God, you ignorant people?'

God refers to them as "...you ignorant people." So what is the main characteristic of radicals? Their ignorance. "Do you order me to worship something other than God?" So God says is there any other one to pass judgment? And some people say, yes there are others to pass judgment. God says, "You are ignorant." That is the main characteristic of radicals. Another one to pass judgment; they are attempting to change the commands of God with made-up accounts.

Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 65

"It has been revealed to you and those before you: 'If you associate others with God, your actions will come to nothing and you will be among the losers'."

"It has been revealed to you and those before you:" It has been revealed to our Prophet (saas) and those before him, and this also binds those who will come after him; this also refers to our age. "If you associate others with God." What does this mean? If you change the commands of God. "...your actions will come to nothing" perform your prayers as much as you want, fast as much as you like, all will come to nothing, says God. "..and you will be among the losers." They are the losers all around the world. If you associate others with God, the end is defeat.

Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 66

"No! Worship (only) God and be among the thankful."

"No! Worship (only) God.." Meaning only abide by the Qur'an. " ...and be among the thankful." Alhamdulillah, one should constantly be thankful. Praising God and thanking God is very much forgotten most of the time. One needs to thank God all the time. Alhamdulillah.

Surat Az-Zumar, Verse 67

"They do not measure God with His true measure. The whole Earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising, the heavens folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they ascribe!"

"They do not measure God with his true measure," that is the Greatness and Power of God. For instance, they assume that US has a separate power, they assume that Russia has an individual power. In fact all power belongs to God. God is the One Who rules over the atom and the electron. God is the One Who rules over infinity. " The whole Earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising.." You see the world as huge, yet see how God abases the Earth in the eyes of man. The whole Earth is a mere handful for Him. That means it is nothing for God. "The heavens folded up in His right hand." "In His right hand" God says this to stress on the Power and Greatness of God. The right hand means the power, the Power of God. "He is exalted above the partners they ascribe!" They come up with new scholars, new commands and God says none of them are acceptable. Only the Qur'an is acceptable.

MR. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ABOUT VERSES FROM SURAT AZ-ZUKHRUF

Surat Az-Zukhruf, verse 51

"Pharaoh called to his people, saying, "My people, does the kingdom of Egypt not belong to me? Do not all these rivers flow under my control? Do you not then see?" "

"Pharaoh called to his people." He speaks in a boastful tone. ".. saying "My people, does the kingdom of Egypt not belong to me. Do not all these rivers flow under my control?" Look, this shows the rampageous spirit of wild capitalism. "Do you not then see?" This is the mania Pharaoh displays. For instance when the Prophet Moses (pbuh) speaks, he says; "Do you hear?" or he says; "Do you see?" They do see everything, what kind of a question is that. This is the Pharaoh's way of speaking. "Do you not then see? "

Surat Az-Zukhruf, verse 52

"Am I not better than this man who is contemptible and can scarcely make anything clear?"

The Pharaoh says; "Am I not better than this man who is contemptible and can scarcely make anything clear?" may God forbid about the Prophet Moses (pbuh). He says; "...[he] can scarcely make anything clear?" My dear one, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) sometimes becomes tongue- tied because he is too excited. He has such an impassioned spirit. He has palpitations of his heart and he gets tongue-tied because of the extent of his excitement and he fails to speak clearly.

Surat Az-Zukhruf, Verse 53

"Why have gold bracelets not been put upon his arms and why is there not a train of angels accompanying him?"

"Why have gold bracelets not been put upon his arms.. " Because Pharaoh has a capitalist mindset, he evaluates everything accordingly. He looks for gold, money, etc. " .. and why is there not a train of angels accompanying him" Just like the radicals keep saying; "There should be an angel above the Mahdi's head and I should be able to see it, or else I will not accept him." Pharaoh is the one who says such things; those are not the words of a Muslim.

Surat Az-Zukhruf, Verse 54

"In that way he swayed his people and they succumbed to him. They were a people of deviators."

"In that way he swayed his people.. "Look he swayed his people. Just like some people in our time do by saying "...white Turks, black Turks" and swaying our people in their own minds. "...and they succumbed to him." That is because there is the deep state organization and their depravity. "They were a people of deviators."

Surat Az-Zukhruf, Verse 63

And when Jesus came with the Clear Signs, he said, 'I have come to you with Wisdom and to clarify for you some of the things about which you have differed. Therefore have fear of God and obey me.

"And when Jesus came with the Clear Signs, he said; "I have come to you with Wisdom"." Now when he comes this time, what is the Wisdom he mentions? He will come with the Qur'an. "... and to clarify for you some of the things about which you have differed." For instance about what do they differ? Orthodoxy, Catholicism, such diversities. "... and to clarify for you some of the things about which you have differed.Therefore have fear of God and obey me." He says; "...have fear of God." He doesn't says "me" he says "have fear of God and obey me."

MR. ADNAN OKTAR'S REMARKS ON VERSES FROM SURAT FATIR

Surat Fatir, Verse 25

If they deny you, those before them also denied the truth. Their Messengers came to them with Clear Signs, and psalms and the Illuminating Book.

" If they deny you, those before them also denied the truth." This refers to our Prophet (saas). It is really puzzling that people were loveless in all ages. For instance our Prophet (saas) is amazingly sweet, very radiant, he is as sweet as a candy. How can one accuse such a beautiful, high quality person of being a liar? That is flat out unjustness, a flat out smear and nothing else. That all stems from their immorality. Our Prophet (saas) is such an amazing, such a decent person with a radiant face and he is highly civilized. There isn't even an exaggeration in any of his words and you say "You are a liar" to a person who has never ever told a lie all his life. Why would he ever tell a lie? That is flat out lovelessness and nothing else. . "Their Messengers came to them with Clear Signs, and psalms and the Illuminating Book." All of them receive the same reactions. It is all because of man, as Almighty God says; "Man is wrong-doing and ignorant." Almighty God says; " ...thalooman jahoolan." A great majority of the people in our age are wrongdoing and ignorant as well.

Surat Fatir, Verse 26

Then I seized hold of those who were unbelievers and how absolute was My rejection!

God either grinds those lands into the dust or creates civil strife or overthrows them economically. In general God ruins those people either by setting them against each other or by inflicting another country upon them.

Surat Fatir, Verse 33

They will enter Gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk.

"They will enter Gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk." Notice that in the Qur'an we see the value of adorning, the importance of adornments and how God likes those who adorn themselves. Does God like those who adorn themselves or not? He does. Radicals are the ones who do not like it. But God likes it. Look at what God says; "...with gold bracelets." So they will have gold on both their arms but that will be the gold of Heaven. "...and pearls." Pearls of Heaven. "..they will be adorned." They will be shinning brightly. " ...and where their clothing will be of silk." And you hate silk, you hate gold. God likes them; you do not. God says that silk is beautiful; you call it ugly. God regards silk as a blessing of Heaven; these men say; "Beware." They refrain from gold, they are revolted by pearls and they do not like silk. They have no love left in their hearts.

Surat Fatir, Verse 34

They will say, ´Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from us. Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Responsive to Gratitude:

"They will say, ´Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from us. " That is to say that there is an inclination towards sadness in the human soul. People have a tendency to feel sadness for 24 hours. They attempt to feel sadness about everything, everything that comes to their minds. For instance, they sit at a table and get sad about that; someone comes along and they get sad about that, something happens and they get sad about that, the wind blows and they get sad about that, rain falls and they get sad about it, sun shines and they get sad about it. See the verse: "They will say, ´Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from us." Look; first of all, God takes it away and then removes it. Praise be to God, Alhamdulillah." Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Responsive to Gratitude." Truly God forgives when one commits a sin. You say "Astagfirullah." You say "My Lord, forgive me." May God forgive us all. The verse reads; "Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Responsive to Gratitude." See that when you say "Alhamdulillah" God accepts that gratitude.

"Alhamdulillah" is one of the invocations God likes the most. For instance you have been bestowed a blessing and you say Alhamdulillah. There is a beauty in front of you; you say Alhamdulillah. You hear a nice word you say Alhamdulillah. One should approach God by praising, by giving glory to God. We should increase our thanks to God. When that is increased, the blessings bestowed upon one would increase as well. How does that work? God does that without making it felt. The more you send your thanks to God; the more the blessings bestowed upon you increases. All this increases from aspects you do not know of, from aspects you cannot even think of.

Surat Fatir, Verse 35

"He who has lodged us, out of His favor, in the Abode of Permanence where no weariness or fatigue affects us."

"He who has lodged us, out of His favor, in the Abode of Permanence where no weariness or fatigue affects us. " The greatest instinct man has is the instinct for infinity. Man constantly want that in their spirit. God satisfies that urge in the Hereafter. They become infinite and then find relief. That is because that instinct would thus be satisfied completely. " .. in the Abode of Permanence where no weariness or fatigue affects us." That is to say weariness and fatigue is given specifically in this world. The man gets up from his bed and still feels fatigued. He goes on a holiday and comes back feeling tired. He lies down on a sunbed and rests yet he still feels tired. Fatigue is specifically given for the test. "..where no weariness affects us." People might feel weary of many things. One can never be bored of love or affection; one can never be tired of the love of God. However the feeling of weariness, of boredom exists in the human soul. Muslims are able to overcome this feeling with their faith. For that reason an ordinary man gets tired of his wife, or his beloved ones; but a Muslim would not because of their faith. However in disbelief, weariness enwraps a person very easily. A Muslim might feel weariness about difficult things, about difficulties. But in the Hereafter that feeling is completely removed. With the power of faith weariness is crushed. It can be crushed in proportion to that person's faith. There is a tendency to boredom in the human nature, in the human soul in proportion with that person's faith. However a Muslim would not be bored, would not feel weary of love, a Muslim would not feel weary of beauty and affection, insha'Allah. For instance Muslims get bored by empty talks, from monotonous approaches. They search for richness, I mean they want novelties, they want beauties. The feeling of boredom is removed in the Hereafter. There is no such thing, no such feeling in the Hereafter. Muslims see the blessings of Heaven quadrillions of times but they never get bored. They see the same blessings a quadrillion times quadrillion but never get bored. For instance they do not feel bored by pearls, by bracelets; they like the bracelets every single time, they like the pearls every single time, they like those rivers of Heaven every single time they see them. They never feel bored with the rivers, they never feel bored with the houses of Heaven. They feel an excitement about them every time they see them as if it is the first time they are seeing them.

Surat al-An’am Verse 123

Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot (and burrow) in it. They plot against themselves alone, but they are not aware of it.

“Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men…” The rich people, administrators, people like the secret state. “...to plot in it.” Various wealthy capitalists, some administrators, some politicians and some bureaucrats, in other words the organization of the secret state. God says He has made them as people who create trouble there. “They plot against themselves alone…” God says that they make trouble for themselves. And we really do see that the jackals of the secret state end up being made wretched; they are either killed, or imprisoned, or humiliated or they lose all their possessions, but they are always laid low. “But they are not aware of it.” They fail to understand, and they do the same thing again.

Surat al-An’am, 125

When God desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how God defiles those who have no faith.

"When God desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky." God says that he can do such a thing when someone does not wish to believe. That is how God defiles those who have no faith. God says, “I will defile them.” This is an unknown fact. “I will defile those who have no faith,” says God. “I will afflict them with troubles,” He says. “But I will lift those troubles from them when they have faith.”

Surat al-An’am, 128

On the Day We gather them all together: ‘Company of jinn, you gained many followers among mankind,’ [He will say.] And their friends among mankind will say, ‘Our Lord, we benefited from one another, and now we have reached the term which You determined for us.’ He will say, ‘The Fire is your home. You will be in it timelessly, forever, except as God wills. Your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.’

‘Company of jinn, you gained many followers among mankind,’ [He will say.] Many people are under the influence of the jinn. This is an unknown fact. Some people act according to them. There are many communities that act according to instructions from the jinn.

The assistants of the Qaim (Mahdi) are reserved for him. Even if everyone leaves, God will bring his (the Mahdi’s) assistants to him. What God reveals in this verse is:

“...If these people reject it We have already entrusted it to a people who did not.” (Surat al An’am, 89)

And He reveals:

“…God will bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble to the Muslims, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of God and do not fear the blame of any censurer...” (Surat al Ma’ida, 54)

So in that time, people will be in a great state of corruption, and they will be divided. Very few people will gather around Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh); so few you could count them on the fingers of your hands. Our Prophet (saas) says, “They number around 313.” Imagine the dire state of the Ummah in the End Times; 313 people will gather around someone who had been foretold for 4,000 years. This shows the severity of the corruption in the End Times because the extremists will believe that the Mahdi (pbuh) is on the wrong path and that he is mad. Yet it is thanks to him the world survives. God makes him His instrument. The reckoning is postponed through him, and the rains fall thanks to him. God makes him His instrument. Yet they will still line up against him. It is our Prophet (saas) who says this, not me.

“...If these people reject it,” if they line up alongside the system of the dajjal (antichrist) “We have already entrusted it to a people who did not. (Surat al-An’am, 89)” God entrusts it to them, the followers of the Mahdi (pbuh). God is indicating that.

“…God will bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of God and do not fear the blame of any censurer...”

(Surat al-Ma’ida, 54) The details about the system of the Mahdi are quite explicit. It is based on love. Love reigns, do you see? Love is the main feature of the community of the Mahdi (pbuh). God loves them, and they love God. “…humble to the believers,” To which believers? To all the believers of the world. They make no distinction between communities. Whoever says “God is One.” They are loving, nor proud. This means that the fanatics and bigots will be proud. They will become arrogant and extreme, like Pharaoh. Some of them. But the followers of the Mahdi (pbuh) will be humble and loving. Toward whom? Toward all Muslims. “…fierce to the unbelievers” Not aggressive, but fierce. How? In the sense of being strong physically and spiritually. They are strong and honorable with the purity of faith. Are they fierce and proud to believers? No. To whom are they proud? To unbelievers. They are proud and honorable while in front of unbelievers. “who strive in the Way of God…” The main feature of the followers of the Mahdi (pbuh) is that they are always striving. “…and do not fear the blame of any censurer...” This means that believers will be weakened; a great many will fall out with one another, but the followers of the Mahdi (pbuh) will fear no censurer, and will even act with greater fervor. Because the community that is most condemned will be that of the Mahdi (pbuh). Everyone will condemn him apart from 313 people. This refers directly to the followers of the Mahdi (pbuh).

When the Qaim, Muhammed the Mahdi (pbuh) comes, he will say; we are the people promised in a verse of the Book of Almighty. In other words, the Mahdi (pbuh) will say this verse refers to us. Verse 41 of Surat al-Hajj explicitly refers to the Mahdi (pbuh).

“those who, if We establish them firmly on the earth, will establish salat(prayers) and pay zakat (alms), and command what is right and forbid what is wrong. The end result of all affairs is with God.” (Surat al-Hajj, 41) We will establish them, God says, and then bestow authority upon them. Nobody in the world will possess authority apart from the Mahdi (pbuh). He is the one who is foretold. God says that their first characteristic is that they “perform salat (prayers).” Two, they “pay zakat (alms).” three, “they command what is right,” and four, “they forbid what is wrong.” They avoid all fanaticism, bigotry, lovelessness and wickedness. “The end result of all affairs is with God.” They all lie with me, God says. I do them all, He says.

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar ( 30 June 2013)

NEITHER THE TRADITIONAL RIGHT, NOR THE COMMUNIST LEFT CAN EVEN BRING HAPPINESS TO PEOPLE

The understanding of the arts in the system of the Mahdi is very healthy, strong, alive and it is beyond ages and beyond dimensions. It is the same with the understanding of industry, with the understanding of medicine, with the understanding of architecture; there is a boundless supremacy in the system of the Mahdi. However neither the traditional right, nor the communist left can ever bring happiness to people. If you pay attention both sides are angry. Both parties are unhappy. Most of the people in both parties are ugly, they all became ugly because of lovelessness. They all have statements of hatred. There is almost a competition in a spirit of atrocious lovelessness. The system of the Mahdi enjoys a spirit that embraces both sides and it is a system that takes them to a life they've never even imagined, to a perfectness they've never envisaged, to a joy and happiness they've never dreamed. I mean THE SYSTEM OF THE MAHDI IS LIKE THE ARK OF THE PROPHET NOAH (PBUH). THOSE WHO TRAVEL WITH THAT SHIP WOULD ATTAIN SALVATION IN THE MOST COMPLETE SENSE OF THE WORD. Those who are not on the ship of the system of the Mahdi remain in pain and suffering as you all see, they are in devastating pain.

IT'S BEEN STATED IN THE HADITHS THAT THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL BE SPOILED.

Not only communism, but wild capitalism is spoiled as well, so is fascism and so is the antichrist. The team of the antichrist and the antichrist; they are all spoiled.. COMMUNISM, FASCISM, WILD CAPITALISM, SATANISM, ALL SORTS OF PERVERTED IDEAS ARE THE SONS OF THE ANTI-CHRIST. AND HE IS THEIR FATHER. CONSEQUENTLY ANTICHRIST IS THE SPOILED ONE. There are hadiths which state that the antichrist will be spoiled.
